Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation can be effective in enhancing symptoms related to various vestibular (inner ear/balance) disorders. Individuals with vestibular disorders frequently experience issues with regards to dizziness, visual disturbance, vertigo, and balance.

Vestibular Physiotherapy Recovery (VPR), or Vestibular Restoration Treatment (VRT) is a particular type of treatment proposed to mitigate both the essential and optional issues brought about by vestibular clutters. It is an activity-based program essentially designed to lessen dizziness, vertigo and gaze instability, or potentially imbalance and falls.

For a great many people with a vestibular disorder, the shortfall is long lasting and the fact that the measure of rebuilding of vestibular capacity is very small. Be that as it may, after vestibular system damage, individuals can feel better and function can return through remuneration. This happens on the grounds that our brain learns out how to utilize other senses.

Vestibular Rehabilitation
The health of a specific part of the sensory system (brainstem and cerebellum, visual, and somatosensory sensations) is imperative in deciding the degree of recuperation that can be increased through compensation.
The goal of VPR is to use a problem-oriented approach to promote compensation. This is achieved by customizing exercises to address each person’s specific problem(s). Therefore, before an activity program can be planned, a thorough clinical examination is expected to distinguish issues identified with the vestibular disorder. Depending on the vestibular-related problem(s) identified, three principal methods of exercise can be prescribed:

  1. Habituation
  2. Gaze Stabilization
  3. Balance Training

Habituation exercises are used to treat the symptoms of dizziness that are produced due to self-motion and/or produced by visual stimuli. This exercise is indicated for patients who experience increased dizziness when they move, specifically when they make quick head movements, or when they frequently change positions like while bending or looking up to reach above their heads.
